I have both high-speed and a burner, if that is any help.

Eh? ;-)
 
One for me too. I would be honored to be able to burn if you still need
volunteers. For a few years now I've depended on ACF but have never
contributed.

Ah, but we haven't gone *public* yet. Who knows what the demand will be
once the info is *officially* posted on the PL site. . .

Maybe we should have a pool on that? ;)

The current iso limitation is going to be about 20 downloads per
month. That's not really adequate.

We're going to need a strategy to get started.

1) People who burn and mail copies first.
2) Other burners who did not get the iso get a copy of the CD first.
3) Let's all proliferate like crazy; acfb, file sharing, mailing CD's.

Then maybe after a month or so the image should be safe from usurping
the alloted bandwidth before months end. I'll join in to assist with
burning and mailing also until we can get as many copies out as
possible.

Ben, can you send me an email? (remove the caps)

If your worried about the bandwidth aspect, I'd be more than happy to host
the .iso file as I have unlimited bandwidth on my servers.

This is approximately a 700 meg image that has all PL programs in
which the authors allow redistribution.

Are you sure you're up to it? Do you have a size limitation for your
account?

If you are up to it and have the space and if you do not have a high
speed upload connection perhaps someone can upload it for you. Or, I
can burn a copy and send it as soon as I get mine.

700MB?, I though ISO's were meant to be compressed? <gg>

I don't have a size limitation, do have an HS connection but I'm afraid I
don't have enough space left for a 700MB file without purchasing more (which
at present, I cannot afford). I was expecting the iso to be around 4 - 500MB

Could we have a show of hands please?
The volunteer burners should have their copies some time next week.
Let's start them out with a back-log of orders. ;)

I don't know if this has been addressed at this point (don't have time
to entirely read this thread) but there have been suggestions that
Susan make available an ISO of the disc(s). That's probably unfeasible
because it would require a host account that allows a large amount of
bandwidth/month. However, if anybody *has* such an account and wants
to help out.....

John, I've just been speaking to REM about this one......

I've got an account I can use, and the bandwidth is no problem at all. The
problem I do however has is, I was expecting the iso to be around 4-500 MB
(which I have space for), would need to purchase extra space for a 700MB
file, which at present, I cannot afford.

It might compress, but I'm not sure of the exact size. Susan can
probably give the size when she checks in. It's going to be pretty
substantial though.

I'll have a word with Susan about it, see what we can do ;o)

Maybe the ISO could be busted up by an agreed to splitter utility,
the pieces stored by various volunteers. Then downloaded, reassembled
by the downloader and burnt? Just an idea.

I didn't send a CD to you. . . yet. . .

I need an address (picky detail department) ;)

The file is 524 MB. Can you squeeze that much on to your site?

The first CDs I sent should start arriving soon - perhaps tomorrow - if
one of the recipients can upload to your site that would probably be the
fastest way. . .
